  by Mr. Sanjay Murthi</span></p>

  <b>MCNC Auditorium</b> <br>
  3021 Cornwallis Road <br>

<p><span class="header2">Abstract:</span><br>
  This presentation will be based on a recent article that Mr. Murthi wrote
  for the October 2002 issue of IEEE's ITProfessional magazine. It will
  cover ways to identify typical risks that can derail software projects
  such as requirements risk, integration risk, business risk, political
  risk and so on. Mr. Murthi will discuss ways to integrate more proactive
  risk identification and management into the software development process.
  The focus will be on hands on ways of managing risk and less on theoretical
  aspects. He will compare and contrast this with traditional methods of
  risk identification and management such as Barry Boehm's "top-ten risks".
  The presentation will use many real life examples and anecdotes from the
  speaker's varied experience. The session will also include a workshop
  that will help you better understand and use the material presented in
  your own projects.</p>
